As a teacher, my goal is to instruct as well as inspire each student to reach for his or her highest potential. I hope to give each student the tools to progress so that one day they can be their own best teacher, and play with a sound and style that is uniquely their own. Most importantly, I hope to instill a desire to learn and a mindset that the art of flute playing is fun and that it is just as we call it--playing.

Each student has a different curriculum that is specific to his or her level and learning style.

Looking at past curriculum also provides an excellent way to look at a student’s progress.
